Nice job with tying the letters of MODE to different gameplay mechanics! I liked the chain-reaction puzzle idea too, it was satisfyingly figuring out where to connect the bulbs all together.

3-7 was the hardest for me. Great puzzle design. All of the uses of the ways you use the puzzle and what not is great.

We call that one "Long Distance" - glad to hear you stuck with it!

Is 4-7 the last puzzle? I got through them all, but 4-7 just repeats.

Very fun game though! I do love me some puzzles!

Nice work! You may well be the first one to complete all the puzzles :)

That last one was a bit of a stumper too.
Took me a good while to figure it out.

Wow this was awesome, it always blows my mind when people design puzzle games that involve very different mechanics and are able to interweave them like this and create a bunch of levels that simultaneously teach you how to play the game one level at a time, slowly increasing the complexity. I wouldn't know where to even start with making something like that.

The graphics are perfect for a puzzle game like this and the song is a perfect fit too, it feels like it promotes thinking without getting repetitive.

This was a really good puzzle game. I really liked the adorable art, and everything is a consistent theme. The title of the game popping up when i failed reminded me of McPixel and got a good chuckle out of me.

Man, you've got MODE working on multiple levels here. I felt this had a good scaling of difficulty and interval of learning new things. You did a good job of going for those 'a-ha moments' without making the puzzle solutions too obscure as well. Nice entry!

Great job. I loved it! Cute appearance and the puzzles were really intuitive and fun. I'm focused on music a lot of times with game jams, and it was a very laid back groove. I wish it would loop a little better to be less jarring on the groove you were setting up. Otherwise, great job getting something this good in time for the jam.

Great concept, really enjoyed playing the game.  The puzzles get a bit tricky as the game progresses.

I tried to skip ahead in levels and now they're so hard! Really impressive how many you put out, and they really can be a head scratcher :)

Wonderfully done! This is a very clever puzzle game, I'm impressed with both the quantity and quality of the levels you were able to put out. The four different modes are clever and put to nice use in solving the puzzles. Great work!

Nice puzzles! I'm actually surprised at the amount of levels you got into this game. The music and sound design is nice, but the UI could use a little work instead of showing the title on reset since it might get a bit confusing with closing the game.

I love the title pun.

I absolutely loved it! So clever with how to solve the puzzles, and I love the artwork of the electricians and lightbulbs! And using M.O.D.E for each of the electrician's modes is the cherry on top. Awesome work!
